LPC, 4 years of experience
Hello, I'm Jerrika. Do you struggle with finding motivation and meeting your goals? Do you worry too much that you aren't able to feel like you're living up to your full potential? Do you have a difficult time managing your relationships and communicating what you need? I empower men and women who struggle with managing anxiety and depression that gets in the way of meeting their goals and preventing an overall healthy and meaningful life. We will work together to identify the source of your symptoms and create treatment goals to start getting you to a better place with yourself, relationships, and meeting your life goals. I incorporate a variety of techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation, and role-playing to help guide you in the right direction. Whether you're dealing with trauma, marital stress, or burnout, I am here to support you through your mental health journey. There is nothing that you aren't able to overcome if you believe in yourself and what your are working toward. Let's work together to get you back on track and feel more in control of your life.
During the first session we will exchange brief introductions, review intake information, and discuss the problems you are facing. We will conclude with identifying goals tailored to your needs and specific objectives and interventions to help you work towards those goals.
I have a lot of experience working with children and families. One of my biggest strengths is providing therapy to couples. I provide couples with the opportunity to open up and discuss their issues and concerns while coaching the couple through conversations to increase effective communication skills. I focus on helping the couple effectively problem solve, understand where the other is coming from, and strengthen the relationship for the future.
I work best with adults who are wanting to work through the barrier of stress, anxiety, and/or depression that get in the way of their success in life, whether that be in their career, relationships, or through difficult life changes.
I have used CBT in working with clients with anxiety and depression to restructure negative and irrational beliefs and thinking patterns that prevent positive growth.
